In this Vital Health Podcast, John Stanford, Executive Director of Incubate, discusses the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) on venture capital investments in life sciences. Stanford emphasizes that the IRA's price control mechanisms have led to significant shifts in funding, particularly away from small-molecule drug development, creating what is described as the "small molecule penalty." Key points include: Venture Capital's Role and Challenges: Venture capital is critical in translating basic research into medicines. The Inflation Reduction Act has disrupted this ecosystem, discouraging investment in certain drugs due to anticipated lower returns under price control regimes. Data from the Life Science Tracker: Stanford highlights the Life Science Tracker findings, showing 36 research programs and 21 specific drug developments discontinued since the IRA's passage. Notably, investments are markedly shifted from small molecules to biologics. Economic and Patient Impact: The IRA has led to reduced innovation in critical areas like oncology and rare diseases. Treatments for diseases like ovarian cancer and blindness have been deprioritized. Stanford argues that the act inadvertently penalizes older patients, the demographic it was designed to benefit, by disincentivizing drugs for age-related diseases. Proposed Solutions: The EPIC Act, a bipartisan effort supported by Incubate, aims to address the disparities by giving small molecules the same 13-year exclusivity period as biologics. Fixing the incentives for drug development, including addressing multiple indication penalties, is crucial to fostering innovation. Critique of Government Assessments: Stanford critiques the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for its reliance on limited data sources and narrow time horizons, which fail to capture the long-term impacts of the IRA. In conclusion, Stanford stresses the need for legislative adjustments to mitigate the IRA's unintended consequences on drug innovation and patient care.

Over the last few months at Every, we've: Launched two AI products Acquired tens of thousands of users Released a new incubation in private alpha The weird thing is: We're a media company with < 10 full-time employees, and we're mostly bootstrapped. That's not how things are supposed to work in startups. When we started our product incubation arm six months ago, many people told us it wouldn't work: divided focus, not enough money, and the biggest one—it would be too hard to find talented people to run the products we build. Yesterday, we proved out one of the biggest risks to our strategy: We launched a brand-new version of our AI product Spiral (https://spiral.computer) with Danny Aziz as GM—who left a $200K salary to join us.  The question is: Why? Why did he join us, and why is the model working when it “shouldn't” be? That's why I invited Danny and Brandon Gell, Every's head of Studio, on the show. We get into the details of Every's business model, what makes our flywheel turn, where each of us sees ourselves one year from now, and what happens when you mix media, software, and AI under one roof. This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to build a business on their own terms, and have a lot of fun while doing it.  If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share!  Want even more?

Quantum Nurse https://www.quantumnurseeternalhealth.com/ presents Freedom International Livestream On January 30, 2024, Tuesday @ 12:00 PM EST 5:00 PM UK 6:00 PM Germany Guest:  Alex Krainer Topic: “Clear and Present Dangers:  Wars Incubate Fascism” www.alexkrainer.substack.com   www.TheNakedHedgie.com   Bio:   Alex Krainer is a market analyst, researcher, futures trader, investor, author and former hedge fund manager based in Monaco. He was born and raised in the socialist regime of former Yugoslavia, under one-party communist rule. At 17 he joined a student exchange program in the United States where he also took up his university studies. From there his path led to Switzerland on a scholarship where he completed a degree in Business and Economics and advanced to a masters program. From Switzerland he moved to Venezuela where he lived for a year and experienced his first banking crisis in 1994. Nine of Venezuela's 16 largest banks failed and brought the country's economy to a grinding halt. That year he returned to his native Croatia and joined the military where he served through 1995 during the last phases of Croatia's war of independence. In 1996, upon discharge from the military, he took employment at an oil trading company in Monaco. In 1998 he became the head of risk and in 2000 the company's CEO. He had originated the firm's research and development program in market analysis and application of neural networks and artificial intelligence in trading financial and commodities markets. By 2007 he launched his own investment management company and was among the small minority of managers who generated positive investment returns (+27% net of fees) during the 2008 financial crisis. Over the following six years, his hedge fund outperformed the Dow Jones Credit Suisse index of Blue Chip managed futures funds.   https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/war-oligarchys-great-silencer?publication_id=1063805&post_id=137448743&isFreemail=true&r=15qssi       BOOKS & LINKS: "Alex Krainer's Trend Following Bible" (2021) - free download "Grand Deception: The Truth About Bill Browder, Magnitsky Act and Anti-Russia Sanctions" (2017) twice banned on Amazon by orders of swamp creatures from the U.S. StateDepartment. “Mastering Uncertainty in Commodities Trading" (2016) was rated #1 book on commoditiesfor investors and traders by co.uk - free download Day-job web page: ISystem-TF.com Blog: com Substack: Alex Krainer's Trend Compass YouTube channel: MARKETS, TRENDS & PROFITS ZeroHedge articles: https://www.zerohedge.com/contributors/44505 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alex-sasha-krainer-0b74ab1a   Grace Asagra, RN MA Podcast:  Quantum Nurse: Out of the Rabbit Hole from Stress to Bliss http://graceasagra.bio.link/ https://www.quantumnurse.life/ Bichute https://www.bitchute.com/channel/nDjE6Ciyg0ED/ ClikView https://clikview.com/?ref=410070342631952c00a47c0.19349477     TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854   WELLNESS RESOURCES Optimal Health and Wellness with Grace Virtual Dispensary Link (Designs for Health)               2https://www.designsforhealth.com/u/optimalhealthwellness Quantum Nurse Eternal Health (Face Skin Care, Protein Powder and Elderberry) https://www.quantumnurseeternalhealth.com/   TIP/DONATE LINK for Grace Asagra @ Quantum Nurse Podcast https://patron.podbean.com/QuantumNurse https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FHUXTQVAVJDPU Venmo - @Grace-Asagra 609-203-5854 Co-host: Roy Coughlan Podcast: AWAKENING https://www.awakeningpodcast.org/   TIP/DONATE LINK for Roy Coughlan @ Awakening Podcast https://www.awakeningpodcast.org/support/ Hartmut Schumacher Podcast: GO YOUR OWN PATH https://anchor.fm/hartmut-schumacher-path

James is the co-founder and Chief Investment Officer of Azoria Partners, a global macro investment firm. Prior to Azoria, he served as the Head of Macro at Greenlight Capital, a two-billion-dollar hedge fund led by David Einhorn. He is also the founder of Incubate Debate, America's fastest-growing high school debate league. As a former national high school debate champion and volunteer debate coach, he launched Incubate in 2019. James was fortunate to have the opportunity to display his talent and strategies to the well-known billionaire hedge fund manager David Einhorn, which also resulted in James getting exposed to new ideas and ways of looking at economies and markets. Unwilling to repeat the same mantra commonly put out by the financial media, James presents a fresh look at why the economy and the markets have multiple silver linings.

Known by many names – sprig, pinny, bull – but unmistakable in appearance, the northern pintail is one of North America's most recognizable, graceful, and well-studied duck species. Unfortunately, much of that attention was garnered because of dramatic population declines and the mystery surrounding it. Dr. Scott Stephens joins Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher to profile this iconic species, discussing its ecology, population status, causes of its decline, and conservation opportunities.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast

Historically, the church has a tendency to colonize as a means to achieve growth. To break that dynamic, new models need to emerge. Enter DisciplesNEXT, a methodology from Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez and the New Church Ministry Team of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). In this conversation, we talk about how the model emerged, how it seeks to be different from previous models, and what are the "ecclesial minimums" or "faithful marks" of what it means to be a church. He also emphasizes the importance of deep listening, dialogue, and considering diverse community inputs in shaping the future of the church. Rev. Dr. Jose Martinez serves as the Minister for New Church Strategies for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Jose also created a ministry as an Incubate participant with the National Benevolent Association called StoryWagen. Additionally, he is co-planter of Multi Nation Christian Church, which is the largest and only Haitian Ministry in the Midwest for the Disciples of Christ and along with planting MissioKC Church. Co-vocationally, he is an endorsed Protestant Chaplain, at the 139th Airlift Wing in St. Joseph, Missouri and a chaplain with Truman Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri. He has served in different capacities in ministry from the regional level to local congregations by bringing innovative and entrepreneurial ideas about the shifting paradigm of church. His mixture of talent, tenacity, and experience has helped him in all contexts of ministry, which was recognized by the Air National Guard in 2016 by awarding him the Samuel Stone award.   https://newchurchministry.org/introducing-impact/ https://newchurchministry.org/about/disciplesnext/   Presenting Sponsor: Phillips Seminary Join conversations that expose you to new ideas, deepen your commitment and give insights to how we can minister in a changing world.    Supporting Sponsors: I Help Pastors Get Jobs: Use code 'futurechristian' Torn Curtain Arts is a non-profit ministry that works with worship leaders, creatives, and churches to help avoid burnout, love their work, and realize their full creative potential.    

They say that one of the best ways to solve a problem—at least a creative one—is actually not to think abut it. After all, how many times have you been doing something like taking a shower or going for a long walk and you find yourself having one of those eureka moments where suddenly the solution to a problem you've been wrestling with forever seems so clear? It happens to me a lot and it's one of the reasons that taking walks in the forest behind our house has become a daily ritual. Trying to be present in something other than active problem solving allows our brains to continue working in the background without us trying to consciously force a solution. The act of stepping away from a problem is called the “incubation period” and it's been studied for decades. In his book The Art of Thought, Graham Wallas proposed that the creative process is made up of four stages: Preparation (the acquisition of knowledge to some task), Incubation (the background process that occurs when conscious attention is diverted away from the task), Illumination (the moment the creative idea flashes into sight or being), and Verification (when the creative idea is subjected to evaluation)." While there have been dozens of studies documenting and validating the importance and effectiveness of the incubation period, last week I experienced another example of it firsthand.CONNECT WITH MEWebsite: https://jefferysaddoris.com  Twitter: @jefferysaddoris  Instagram: @jefferysaddorisSUBSCRIBESubscribe to Jeffery Saddoris: Almost Everything in your favorite podcast app to get more conversations like this.

James Fishback, founder and executive director of Incubate Debate, the largest and only no-cost debate league in Florida. Incubate serves thousands of middle and high school students across the state, believing that open debate and free speech are essential. What's So Controversial About Patriotism?

At high school debates, debate is no longer allowed? Speech and debate judges are making their stances clear: students who argue conservative or pro-America viewpoints will automatically lose—no questions asked. Even their private speech on social media could cost them the tournament. James Fishback, founder of Incubate Debate, details the shockingly blatant censorship and how to defend freedom of speech and thought from the cancellation mob. James' viral articles: Part 1: https://www.thefp.com/p/judges-ruin-high-school-debate-tournaments?utm_source=substack&publication_id=260347&post_id=123544292&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&isFreemail=truePart 2: https://www.thefp.com/p/personal-tweets-lose-high-school-debates?utm_source=substack&publication_id=260347&post_id=130560700&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share&action=share&triggerShare=true&isFreemail=true

Competitive debate veteran and veteran debate coach James Fishback joins Tim to talk about free speech, and at times the lack of certain kinds of debate in high school debate. James founded an organization called Incubate Debate in 2019 after serving as a volunteer debate coach in Miami-Dade county for two-years. Prior to that, he competed in high school debate for four-years in Broward County. https://traffic.libsyn.com/forcedn/shapingopinion/Hijacking_High_School_Debate_auphonic.mp3 James Fishback started Incubate Debate, with the goal of making debate accessible to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds and political beliefs. Over the past four years, James says Incubate Debate has helped thousands of students from all over Florida through its tournaments, workshops, and camps, all at no cost. But what caught our attention was some publicity James received when he spoke out on the issue of free speech and high school debate. According to James, there are some points you're just not allowed to make as a high school debater.  But before we get into that, I wanted to find out more about James' own experience with high school debate and how it's supposed to be. Links Incubate Debate At High School Debates, Debate is No Longer Allowed, The Free Press National Speech and Debate Association (NSDA) NSDA Statement on Its Policies (Link to Google Docs) About this Episode's Guest James Fishback James Fishback founded Incubate Debate in 2019 after serving as a volunteer debate coach in Miami-Dade county for two-years and competing in high school debate for four-years in Broward County. Both were incredible and eye-opening experiences, but ones in which he recognized tremendous issues that prevented many students from participating in and reaping the benefits of debate. In 2019, he started Incubate Debate, with the goal of making debate accessible to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds and political beliefs. Over the past four years, Incubate has welcomed thousands of students from all over Florida to its tournaments, workshops, and camps, all at no cost. Incubate is built on the principle of making debate easy to learn, hard to master. Through our proprietary debate formats (TownHall, Roundtable, Tribunal), Incubate is easy to learn: students get a basic understanding of the rules and processes fast, but it is hard to master because it demands a high level of skill, knowledge, and practice to be successful. Mastering Incubate's challenging, yet accessible style of debate requires dedication and a willingness to continually strive for improvement. NSDA Statement The following is the Editor's Note from The Free Press Article mentioned in the episode and linked-to above: "One day after this story published, the NSDA released a statement on Twitter, stating in part: 'Our judge training materials in partnership with the National Federation of State High School Associations provide best practices for adjudicating speech and debate, such as "Judges should decide the round as it is debated, not based on their personal beliefs."...Tabroom.com is a project of the National Speech & Debate Association, and its purpose is to provide a tournament management system for debate and speech tournaments worldwide. The 47,000 judge paradigms housed therein represent the opinions and viewpoints of the individual paradigm authors. Schools or other organizations that use Tabroom.com to hire judges are free to evaluate those paradigms before engaging their services.'"

Season 18, Episode 6: Brew Session (Chrome Host Seedshark) Shark Typhoon is powerful. A resolved Shark Typhoon is lights out. A resolved Shark Typhoon wins games. Most Modern and Pioneer players know this, or think they know this. They don't know the half of it. Shark Typhoon sees play, but no one truly builds around it. It's far too expensive to craft your game plan around having a Typhoon in play. Instead we cycle, and move on with our lives. Enter Chrome Host Seedshark. Putting a Shark Typhoon effect on a 3 mana creature changes EVERYTHING. Synergies that seemed like pie-in-the-sky win-more plays, notably pairing huge cost reduction spells with the Shark Typhoon effect, are suddenly available as early and often as we want them. Want to cast Leyline Binding? Sure, have a 6/6. Protect the Seedshark with Force of Negation or Metallic Rebuke? No problem, have a 3/3. Delve spells are incredible here, from Treasure Cruise and Temporal Trespass in Pioneer to Logic Knot and Magmatic Sinkhole in Modern. And don't forget the “Splinter Twin” potential of the Shining Shoal cycle: a turn 3 Seedshark, followed by end step Shoal pitching a huge card (X=15 anyone? Autochthon Wurm and Shadow of Mortality make it happen) means you are attacking potentially for lethal damage on turn 4. There's more going on that just a parade of creatures, of course. Incubator tokens are decidedly not creatures, until we invest additional resources. Animating the tokens directly with Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh or Jinnie Fae, Jetmir's Second is downright nasty. For larger Incubators, paying 2 mana is still a great bargain. For smaller Incubators, we can take advantage of the fact that unflipped Incubators are quite hard to remove (unlike, say, the tokens from Third Path Iconoclast or Sai, Master Thopterist). If we want to build up a solid battlefield of wrath-proof game objects for Affinity, for Improvise, for Urza or for Galazeth Prismari, Chrome Host Seedshark is simply best in class. We can even play sweepers of our own, and Seedshark leaves behind a massive token as a going away present. There's so much to discover about Seedshark, and about the Incubate mechanic in general, that we couldn't imagine starting our March of the Machine brewing season with any other card. We've got seven new decklists drawn up in Modern and Pioneer, and a half dozen more ideas to explore besides. It's Shark Week here at Faithless Brewing, and we could not be more excited!

Season 18, Episode 3: Brewer's Guide to March of the Machine, Vol. 3 The full set of March of the Machine is revealed, and something is clearly amiss. Every card looks good. Incubate looks synergistic and easy to transform. Battles look like tremendous value. Convoke looks fun, and Backup looks extremely versatile. Even the silly infinite combos — and there are many in this set — are looking pretty good. This can't be right. Either we are wrong, or Wizards is wrong. Play Design knows their stuff, so it's probably a case of us wearing brew goggles. But that won't stop us from trying to break these sweet new cards. In the third installment of our Set Review, David returns to lend a Pioneer perspective on the best new additions to the brewer's toolbox. Rona, Herald of Invasion is the best 2 mana looter we have seen, and supports multiple infinite combos. Change the Equation has main deck potential in the current Pioneer metagame. The 1-mana backup creatures, Scorn-Blade Berserker and Enduring Bondwarden, support a tremendous variety of play patterns. Even the humble Ichor Drinker draws comparisons to Voldaren Epicure and Lingering Souls. There's tons of spice up and down the mana curve. Let the Great Work begin!

Ducks and geese, chickens and turkeys… what do these two pairings have in common? You can incubate them together. In this episode, we're learning about how you can successfully incubate mixed species of birds together, and why you'd want to. Join Editor Jessica Mitchell on two interviews with some great poultry keepers: Rebecca Krebs and Patrice Lewis.   Since we have two different poultry keepers on the podcast this episode, they're both coming with their own expertise and perspectives, so there may be some practices they do slightly differently based on their experiences. We encourage listeners to determine the right poultry-keeping practices for their own situations.   To see more podcasts, visit our Mother Earth News and Friends page.

Innovation is a strategic game with long-term results. To play it right, one must ask the right questions, and create the proper context and space to help people thrive.  Join Bradley and Eoin Woods this week as they discuss a subject very important to him and Endava – innovation in technology. Delve a bit into how we foster innovation within our teams and what it means for everyone involved.  Bradley Howard: Eoin,  today  I  really  want  to  talk  about  how  to  incubate  innovation.  So what are  the  essential  preconditions  for  novelty  of  cultures  within  organizations? Eoin Woods: Thanks  Bradley.  It's  a  complicated  question,  isn't  it?  Because  so  many  people  talk  about  innovation and  so  many  people  say  they've  delivered  innovation  and  yet  sometimes  it's  quite  hard  to  know  what  they  mean.  For  me,  innovation  is,  I  think  what  you  said  in  the  introduction  is  real  impactful  change  to  the  way  the  organizations  either  work  or  deliver  the  services  or  the  products  that  they  create.  I  think  the  most  essential  precondition  for  innovation  within  an  organization  is  an  acceptance  of  failure.  I  hear  quite  a  lot  of,  we  sometimes  even  get  this  with  our  clients  who  are,  hear  quite  a  lot  of  organizations  talking  about  the  need  for  innovation  and  how  they  want  to  innovate  and  then  when  they  start  talking  to  people  about  let's  start  doing  some  innovation  they  say, " How  long  will  it  take?  How  much  will  it  cost,  and  what  will  I  get?"  And I  always  look  at  them  slightly  confused.  Well  if  it's  innovation  you  won't  know  any  of  those  things in  the  beginning.  I'm  afraid  that's  just  development  or  business  development  or  whatever  it is.  I  think  taking  risks,  I  think  being  prepared  to  learn  from  failures  and  doing  failures  is  a  positive  thing,  which  is  much  easier  said  than  done  especially  when  it's  your  money  you're  spending.  I  really  do  feel  for  senior  managers  who  just  feel  that  they're  abandoning  money  to  a  black  hole  but  they  do  have  to  let  go  and  just  see  what  happens.  And  I  think  the  other  precondition  is  the  fact  that  innovation  is  actually  done  in  the  business.  The  biggest  anti  pattern  I  see  in  innovation  is  a  separate  innovation  center.  You  can  always  tell  innovation  centers  because  the  people  dress  differently  and they  have  totally  non- standard  IT  hardware.  If  the  organization  is  a  window  center,  they  will  inevitably  have  max.  If  the  main  organization  is  a  max  center,  they  will  inevitably  have  Linux  machines  and  they  go  off  and  innovate  in  a  bubble  and  then  when  they  try  and  come  back  and  apply  that  innovation,  the  organization  kind  of  rejects  the  organism  because  it  just  doesn't  fit  with  the  way  the  organization  works  and  its  real  needs.   Enjoyed this segment?

John was at the JP Morgan conference and is here to discuss the key takeaways of the Inflation Reduction Act: the small-molecule penalty, the value of small-molecule drugs, the importance of incentivizing post-approval research, intellectual property, and non-coverage decisions at CMS. You'll also hear John's take on the demand for a more pro-patient agenda. There was a lot of focus on the role of policy and government, specifically in relation to the inflation reduction act and its impact on the life science and venture capital industries. Ready to reaffirm its values, Incubate will be focusing its energy on working with the White House and Congress to make necessary amendments to the legislation. They'll also have a focus on education and awareness to ensure that policymakers understand the critical role they play in the healthcare landscape.Join us as we discuss:Why is there excitement for 2023 in the biotech sector, but also some anxiety?How does the organization, Incubate, plan to address the inflation reduction act?What Congress can be doing to create a more pro-patient agenda?

With the release of Black Magnet's debut album ‘Hallucination Scene' in 2020 a new Industrial Metal power emerged from the unlikely landscape of Oklahoma City. After anxiously waiting out the pandemic Black Magnet returned to the road in late 2021 and has now dropped ‘Body Prophecy' the second full-length burst of machine-driven mayhem and electronic deviance. On ‘Body Prophecy' mastermind, James Hammontree welds the frenetic vitality of post-punk and metal energy with driving synthetic club beats, factory force physicality, and alluringly stark melodic pulses. Tracks like ‘Floating in Nothing' and ‘Violent Mechanix' feature both intensely catchy hooks and hammering brutal noise. ‘Sold Me Sad' is a quietly deranged lullaby that takes an atmospheric turn. The throbbing drug-addled lurch of the Manson / Reznor-esque ‘Incubate' is, at the end of the album, treated to a completely re-imagined and extended club-style remix by scene legend Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Zonal, etc). For all its harsher, scraping atmospheres and pummeling aggression ‘Body Prophecy' always remains an eminently tight, memorable album molded for the stage and constructed to keep bodies in motion and listeners transfixed. Topics Discussed In This Episode: How The Kybalion impacted James's life/creative practice Hermeticism and the 7 Hermetic principles Folklore behind “Ring Around The Rosie” Draxler's visual contribution to Black Magnet's newest album “Body Prophecy” Recording “Body Prophecy” during the early stages of the pandemic James working with Justin K Broadrick Suffering through challenging material to grow one's creative perspective Looking past genres to develop a deeper relationship with artworks Tapping into your highest vibration, frequency, and energy Creating art with absolute honesty Embracing the paradox Transforming negative outlooks into positive perspectives “The Pregnant Void” in Taoism Artists / People Mentioned: Salvador Dalí (Surrealist Painter) Francis Bacon (Painter) Max Ernst (Surrealist Painter) Mitch Horowitz (Author / Occult Historian) Jay Cheel (Director) Andrei Tarkovsky (Director) Alejandro Jodorosky (Director) David Lynch (Director) Alan Watts (Writer) Bands / Musicians Mentioned: Justin K.

I think having a good team before you start, like, writing offers or buying buildings, like, getting your team assembled and making sure that everybody's on the same page and everybody knows what you're looking for and what you want and how you want to go about doing it is very important.  [00:00:37] Sam Wilson: John McGeown is a Chicago native. He's a military veteran and longtime real estate professional. His values are fairness, transparency, and empathy. John, welcome to the show. [00:00:47] John McGeown: Thank you for having me.  [00:00:48] Sam Wilson: The pleasure is mine. John, there are three questions I ask every guest who comes to the show: in 90 seconds or less, can you tell me where did you start? Where are you now and how did you get there?  [00:00:56] John McGeown: Sure. I'm a Chicago born native. I went to Lane Tech for high school. I went to UIC for college. I was in the United States Navy for four years, from 1999 to 2003, had a very seasoned career. While I was in, I was an operation specialist, which basically means I was on board on the ship. We did, like, a lot of intelligence, so information gathering and processing and evaluating and a lot of that sort of transposed well into real estate. I started in real estate right when I got on the Navy in 2004. Started an apartment rentals and then slowly but surely as I unpeeled the onion back, I found that, you know, property management, sales and then investing was sort of the path for me. And those all kind of happened a few years apart. And today I own High Fidelity property management as well as High Fidelity Realty and about 12 investment properties.  [00:01:52] Sam Wilson: Wow, that's a lot of moving pieces. So property management side of things. You guys manage existing assets to other people own, is that...  [00:02:00] John McGeown: Sure. Third party.  [00:02:01] Sam Wilson: Third party management and then also you have your own suite of rental properties. Is there one you prefer over the other?  [00:02:08] John McGeown: Oh, man. That's a good question. I like property management, whether it's managing my buildings or managing buildings for other people. There's definitely a need for it. And the buildings, there's always stuff to do. The only constant is change. Things are always changing and I like that. It keeps me on my toes.  [00:02:27] Sam Wilson: John, would you say that managing properties in Chicago is different maybe than what you see in the rest of the country? But I'm thinking of when I say that is maybe just the types of properties that you're managing as far as age, as far as style. It's a little bit different maybe than what you'd find, say in suburban Nashville. Is that fair? [00:02:46] John McGeown: That's a fair statement. Yeah. Most of the buildings we manage are a hundred years old, right, brick in varying conditions. Some are older and need a little more love. Some are older but have been renovated and are in really good shape. But Chicago has a very unique housing stock. In the sense that there's a lot of smaller multifamily. So we manage anything from 6 unit apartment buildings to 50-unit apartment buildings. And most of the stuff is brick. The weather changes here a lot, whereas other parts of the country, I think a lot of the housing stock is newer. A lot of it's with Hardie board or frame, and it seems like the weather is maybe a little more cooperative in other places, which makes it a little bit easier to manage. [00:03:29] Sam Wilson: What are some things that you would recommend investors look for if they're looking at Chicago as a market to invest in? Like, what are some things you said, man, here's a few items that I would say you really make sure you got to check off when taking a look at buildings.  [00:03:44] John McGeown: Because of the weather and it being fall right now, and this being kind of my focus, finding properties where the seam is intact, and I've said this before, but you know, your roof your parapet walls, the tuckpointing the windows, the basement, you don't want any water getting into these buildings and the tighter the seam of the building is sealed, the easier of a time you're going to have to reach your objectives on the inside of the property. So a lot of people buy property and they look at, you know, old kitchens, old bathrooms. Can we redo the floors? But a lot of that stuff is definitely prudent. But before you go and do that, I would say you always want to make sure that the seam of the building is tight because if you don't have that done, oh, what ends up happening is water will penetrate into the building and it'll ruin all of the stuff that you had just fixed.  [00:04:32] Sam Wilson: That's interesting. Yeah. And it sounds like that's something you've learned from hard experience dealing with a hundred-year-old properties on a consistent basis. [00:04:39] John McGeown: That's right.  [00:04:40] Sam Wilson: That's really, really great advice. Thanks for that. Appreciate it. Tell me about the Chicago market as a whole. Is now a good time to be looking for multifamily and or rental properties there in Chicago?  [00:04:52] John McGeown: From my purview, there's always a good time to buy. There's always going to be deals out there. It depends on what your objectives are and what kind of flexibility you have. The lending climate, you know, financing climate I think is affecting everyone across the board. That's making things a little bit tougher. Some things have slowed down with respect to velocity in the marketplace. Some of that has to do with larger economic issues, but really in Chicago, the seasonality of the business sort of kind of puts things, you know, there's a there's a lot of activity in the summer and the spring. And then when you get into the fall, winter, things tend to slow down a little bit naturally just because of the weather. But as far as a whole, there are still a lot of good deals if you're looking for value add properties where you can get in and rehab them. I think that's a harder target. What I'm seeing a lot more of are buildings that have been improved, you know, anywhere from 10 to, you know, 10 to 5 years, to just a couple years old, and people are trying to sell those buildings to people who don't want to do a lot of the work, and I see some value there because of construction costs and because of labor shortages and things like that. Some of those deals are a little bit more attractive to us, but the cap rates, you know, and the financing has to make sense as well.  [00:06:09] Sam Wilson: Yeah. Yeah, that makes a heck of a lot of sense. You know, buying buildings that are already renovated, you know, ready to go for the investor. Tell me, you know, what sorts of things outside of that are trading hands right now that you guys are looking at that, you know, where's the most activity in the market? [00:06:25] John McGeown: The most activity in the marketplace is in, you know, the more density, the better it seems. I mean, a lot of investors are looking for economy to scale. So, wherever there's density and scale, those are always going to trade in good markets and in bad. There's a lot of that going on, and like I said, a lot, you know, anything from a three, four-unit to a 30, 40 unit building in A, B, C, even D neighborhoods seem to be trading pretty with, a lot of regularity in Chicago.  [00:06:55] Sam Wilson: Wow. That's really cool. I love the Chicago market. Chicago's probably one of my favorite cities to come to visit. Certainly, I can picture, you know, and I haven't been up there in a couple of years, but can certainly picture, you know, the type of assets that you guys are buying. And it is unique, I think, market. When someone comes to market, what are some of the first things that they should start doing when they're starting to select an area to invest in around Chicago?  [00:07:17] John McGeown: I think having the right team assembled is probably the most important thing to me. I deal with a lot of outside investors, people from California or New York or Texas even. And getting to know the neighborhoods is one thing, but making sure that you have your banking relationship, architect relationship general contractor, multiple real estate brokers, property managers, you know, things like that. I think I think having a good team before you start, like writing offers or buying buildings, like getting your team assembled and making sure that everybody's on the same page and everybody knows what you're looking for and what you want and how you want to go about doing it is very important. [00:07:58] Sam Wilson: Tell us, let's talk about your property management company. At what point in time did you know., hey, I'm onto something, and that there's a need in the marketplace that I can fill. [00:08:07] John McGeown: I started the company in 2010, which was right during the recession. And at the time I was working for Jameson Sotheby's and my objective was to sell property. I wanted to be a real estate broker, so residential, commercial, I felt like that was a good hybrid. But at that time, a lot of people were underwater and, you know, they didn't want short sell. They didn't want to give it back to the bank. So my proposition was, let me rent it for you. I'll manage it for you. We'll incubate this single-unit condo and when the timing is right and the market's there, I can sell it for you. So sort of like this one-stop shop idea for absentee landlords in Chicago because at that time a lot of people were going where the money was. You know, like unemployment was very high, so people were losing jobs and then they were getting new jobs in Cleveland or California or Portland, and they couldn't dispose of their assets in Chicago because they were underwater on us. So they waited it out. That was the initial concept. Then we started, you know, interfacing with owners or investors who were looking to buy larger multifamily that were distressed. And after my first assignment, my first assignment was in the West Loop in 2010. The address was 123 North Sangamon. It was a 45-unit building that was in receivership. My clients bought it, renovated the entire thing. My group, we leased it, we managed it, and then when they exited, that was when I realized that was onto something. That first bigger building assignment, kind of never looked back from there.  [00:09:43] Sam Wilson: Right. Incubate the property. I've not heard that phrase before, and I and I kind of like that idea where, you know, you can't get rid of it, but yeah, you can at least have it cover its debt and if not, make a little money on it and hold it until things are more, you know, more favorable time to sell. Are you guys seeing any price decline currently in assets? I mean, I'm talking to other people in other markets and I'm here and there's some softening, especially in the multifamily market. So what's that like in Chicago right now?  [00:10:12] John McGeown: I read a quote and it was, you know, Chicago was defying gravity, and I sort of believe that like the inventory is so slim. It's sort of keeping pricing high, you know, where interest rates are increasing and costs are going up across the board. Stuff is still, you know, sellers are still out there getting their asking price. Now I will say that over the last month, month and a half, things have slowed down quite a bit and I just haven't really done a good enough job digging to see if that's like something local or if that's with the bigger, you know, stuff from the bigger picture impacting the market. [00:10:45] Sam Wilson: Right, right. No, that's very, very interesting. You know, if inventory is slim, it's one of those, nobody has a crystal ball, obviously, but even with money printing plus inflation, even so, and in an interest rates of course going, you know, sky high, even, so if there's no inventory, there's still no inventory. [00:11:02] John McGeown: Yeah. And I think there's a lot of people who have set their sites out to Chicago as a viable investment place to be. And you know, there's a lot of dry power out there and there's a lot of people who make their living off of acquiring properties. And I do think that buyers are a little more scrupulous and they're taking into consideration a lot of the stuff we're talking about. But at the end of the day, stuff's still trading. I mean, a great example would be 1211 La Salle, like a 60-something-unit condo deconversion. Somebody paid a big number for that and that just recently closed and that was on the market for a very long time. And I think that's a good indicator of how the Chicago market's moving. [00:11:40] Sam Wilson: Right, right. No, I think that's great. Are there risks or things that investors should be aware of when looking at the Chicago market, either, you know, like you said, seasonally or politically, or things that you maybe apply specifically to you guys maybe that don't apply in other areas that people should be thinking about? And then if so, how do you mitigate those?  [00:12:02] Sam Wilson: You know, I can't really speak to stuff like politics or anything like that. But from, just like a pure investment standpoint. There are neighborhoods in Chicago that are still developing, and they're they're in development. So knowing what those neighborhoods are and what to look for. I I've always said the Chicago market is kind of nuanced. It's neighborhood by neighborhood, asset type by asset type. So really kind of getting in there and getting on a granular level. And looking at an asset one at a time and then understanding that neighborhood. A good rule of thumb for outside investors looking in Chicago, I never really like to be outside of a 4-block range of a public transportation or the train, figure out how easy it is for people to get a route. So that'd be my one tidbit would be to make sure that you're buying in an area where your residents will have an easy time either going to work or going to enjoy their life. [00:13:00] Sam Wilson: That's a big part of Chicago, like you said, is public transportation. Even when I fly into Chicago, that's all I do, is use public transportation straight from the airports. It's just like... [00:13:09] John McGeown: Yeah.  [00:13:10] Sam Wilson: Otherwise and without that, you go, you know, that becomes a serious consideration. Okay. No, that's absolutely fantastic. Tell me about the veteran interned broker journey for you. I think that's probably a fun part of your story and I'd love to hear more of that.  [00:13:24] John McGeown: Sure I got into real estate sort of by accident. Like when I left the Navy, I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to do. I had a lot of different ideas. A friend of mine, his father was working at a company called Chicago Apartment Finders, and I started as a listing agent. I didn't take out renters. I called landlords and nurtured relationships with owners, and we rented their stuff now. That was where we earned our fee from. And so, I got to learn the language of the landlord at an early age, at an early time in my career. And so, with a pretty good, what I felt was a pretty good understanding of what makes an investor tick and what's going to make them happy or upset them, or what's a good outcome or a bad outcome. I started setting my sites on more multifamily and you know, I also had a big network of people that I knew. And Chicago is a city where sometimes it's not all about what, you know, it's about who you know. And so I wanted to leverage my bigger network of property owners and sell buildings to them. And so I went to a company called Jameson Sotheby's, where I was, again, kind of a hybrid commercial agent, but also a residential agent. And frankly speaking, the property management company ended up fueling a lot of that sales business while I was at Jameson. So my journey kinda as a broker runs in tandem with my journey as a property management company owner. [00:14:46] Sam Wilson: When you rewind and think about the last 20, or, I guess, 12 -ish, maybe closer to 20 'cause you got out in 2003 out of the...  [00:14:54] John McGeown: Yeah.  [00:14:54] Sam Wilson: Yeah. So So pushing 20 years here, if somebody wanted to follow in your footsteps, is there one piece of advice you would give them? You said, Hey, here's something I did really well that I feel like you should emulate. [00:15:05] Sam Wilson: You know, never give up. Once you have a goal in mind, just don't stop until you hit it. I think a lot of people think it's hard. Maybe they get burned on one deal and they don't fulfill their objectives. I would say take all that information as a learning lesson and apply it to your next project and just never give up. Don't ever quit.  [00:15:27] Sam Wilson: I love that. I love that. And conversely, is there something that you feel like a mistake you've made or a lesson learned that you could help other people avoid repeating?  [00:15:39] John McGeown: Sure. It took me a long time to kind of refine who I am and why I'm different and why people would want to work with me. And I think part of that process was trying on different real estate personalities, you know, like, am I John the broker? Am I John the investment manager? Am I John the property manager? But like, squeeze it all to the middle and pick your focus, stay in that lane, and don't leave until you've succeeded. [00:16:06] Sam Wilson: I love that. I love that. That's really, really good. Yeah. What'd you say? It was John, the broker. John, you mentioned like four different hats.  [00:16:12] John McGeown: Exactly. Yeah.  [00:16:14] Sam Wilson: Right, find your focus and stick with it. I think that that's absolutely seasoned advice. John, this has been fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to break down the Chicago markets, how you guys are finding opportunity, kind of the nuance of investing in such a unique housing stock.  That's something that, you know, even here in Memphis, I mean, yeah, we're an older city, but it's just, it's not quite the same as to what it is that you guys or the same product type that you guys are dealing with up there. So I can only imagine that having someone such as yourself on the team would be invaluable. If our listeners want to get in touch with you or learn more about you, what is the best way to do that?  [00:16:52] John McGeown: Well, we just launched a brand new website that you can reach us there at www.hifipl.Com. That's H I F I P L.com or High Fidelity Realty. Those both work for URLs. I'm on LinkedIn. I'm on Facebook. My personal email address is john, J O H N, @hifipl.com. That's H I F I P L.com. Feel free to get in touch with me there anytime.  [00:17:17] Sam Wilson: Awesome. John, thank you so much. I appreciate your time today. Have a great rest of your afternoon.  [00:17:23] John McGeown: Will do, thank you.

Massy comes to the show to share her personal experience with Ayahuasca. She talks about how she and her husband serendipitously discovered the medicine in the aftermath of a hurricane and the profound effects it has had on her life. She provides a beautiful narration of her first encounter as well as her life afterwards. We wrap up by spending some time talking about her latest venture, Incubate.X, which is a women led and mission driven NFT launchpad. Their first project, Onanya, is focused on building an Ayahuasca center in Peru that will incorporate the shamans that led her through her own healing journey. 

Today we're interviewing Sarah Qian, founder of Compassion Creamery,  an oat-based cream cheese company located in Sydney, Australia. They're a really small plant-based brand only native to Sydney but I found the conversation to be quite enlightening. I think the best thing about Sarah is her actionable and relatable experiences such as how to validate that your product is good, how to get a champion or mentor, and using your parents as…free labor! Side note, when I was at Better Meat Co, we had to go to San Francisco every month and I would use my parents' place as a free hotel. Wow, dinner and a room, can't beat that! Sarah's laid-back attitude and relatable problems are a joy to listen to. I hope you enjoy this episode with Sarah Qian, we do this in the University of Sydney at the Incubate office Shownotes: https://myfoodjobrocks.com/Sarah251
